I suppose that other types of identifiers could be used.

Only buses where the devices are identified would work. For
buses like ISA where you have to probe the devices, it would not
be workable.

Don't forget that ISA buses have ISAPNP as an option, so it's more of a mixed bus. But yea, this can old work on self-enumerating, self-identifying buses.
